Open Call for Papers on Connected and Automated Vehicles

Current progress in areas such as electronics, communications and software has the potential to significantly increase vehicular safety and efficiency. The emerging trend on connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) provides increasingly advanced automation and driver support systems. The technology can adapt to and interact with the driver as well as the traffic situation, other users and infrastructure. During the last decade, there have been considerable activities on vehicle-to-X (V2X) communications with several IEEE and 3GPP standards developed worldwide. Connecting autonomous vehicles makes them safer, more efficient and more intelligent. Despite the huge progress made during the recent years, connected and automated vehicles still face many challenges and more research is therefore in dire need.

The Connected and Automated Vehicles area within VTM welcomes open call submissions in the state-of-the-art in current and emerging technologies for connected and automated vehicles (including all types of vehicles, e.g. cars, commercial vehicles, construction equipment, UAVs), the latest development in standardizations and regulations, as well as the potential services and applications for CAVS. Prospective authors are welcome to submit original (not published or currently under consideration by any other publication or conference) technical and research papers following the manuscript guidelines on topics including, but not limited to:
